Editor’s Note

loneliness, death, loss of a loved one, desertion, grief amongst others.
Dedication
To those on the edge who haven’t accepted defeat!

DEMONS I’M FIGHTING
When I woke up
Strength is lacking
I’m blinded
My existence
is becoming undefinable,
In the society
My presence
is becoming abominable,
All my goals
are unachievable
With depression
Please help,

Upon me to go to rest.
Wondering in place
Of my ego,
Is my best friend,
Like an avalanche

IN CAPTIVITY
Bullets of sorrow
Heavy thoughts
Depression, O depression
neither a friend,
All I know
Depression o depression
Why smiling at me
Depression o depression
Demolishing my Identity

LONE
Oxygen is my hope,
Do I ever know?
It took me days
I began to forget,
I’m scared to move upward what kind of monsters may be lurking up there?

LONELY NIGHTS
In a flash;
A light shone.
Eyes met!
Souls crossed!
